Getting the message across to the other person is the essence of communication. Therefore, the communicator should be able to: 1. Express himself clearly, concisely and in a friendly manner, 2. Use skill in gearing his words to the setting and context of the situation as well as the person to whom he is talking, and 3. Make sure that he is understood. In all relationships, but especially in the context of a marriage or couple relationship, the speaker should also encourage and be warmly receptive and sensitive to his partner's communications.
